EVGA Micro 2 m-atx EOL??

Trunkey · 4 Jun 2016 at 23:02

This board is becoming hard to find just as I decided I wanted to do my Parvum R1 x99 build around it, so what's my next best option or are there new m-atx boards coming?

M-ATX X99 boards have always been thin on the ground and I have not heard of any more upcoming. Not sure why it's largely been ignored by the manufacturers. Same goes for MITX, especially with the growing trend towards smaller builds.

yeah agreed with Legend. Asus does not even offer an M-ATX one.

I total forgot about their workstation lines. Thanks for the reminder

Wasn't the Asrock X99M Fatality Killer/3.1 a very well regarded board on here?

Legend · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:17

Yes, very good board that. Shows the potential of X99 MATX, makes it even more surprising why we haven't seen more like this. :confused:

Using the Gigabyte x99M nice board if you can find it

ASRock is the only viable option. Asus and Gigabyte have slow M.2 slots. EVGA has a fast M.2 slot but if you use it the last PCI slot gets disabled. I thought we might get some refreshed M-ATX boards for Broadwell-E but it seems not.

After mooching around it appears you can still obtain these direct from EVGA.

I was pretty much just about to ask this. That's very disappointing.
